I made my own out of MDF ... why not make your own ... will be exact
size you want then.

I took advice form some guys here who had done this ... and made mine.

Since pics were taken ... complete it to have ...

Added melamine faced ply faces to the vertical section .. these allow
wood to slide easily and will be replaced as necessary, split so I can
offset when needed.
extract hose port fitted to rear box.

I also made up a truing jig, so I used my router with a wide bit and
made sure horizontal face and vertical face were true and exactly 90
degrees ... although 1" MDF should have been true, I think my gluing
up & biscuit jointing had put some stresses in it, and it had warped a
little, less than a mm, but it was easy enough to correct.

I built my Table with TREND router table insert plate ... well worth
the cost, my TREND T11 has a great micrometer adjustment, that works
from above table when Router is in place.
